Deadmau5

DEADMAU5

8 p.m., The Village. $20 adv., $25 d.o.s.

No
matter how many times I see the proper pronunciation, I can't read
Deadmau5 anyway but “dead-mao-five.” Probably because I don't do
“leet,” a mostly web language that substitutes numbers and characters
for letters. That Joel Zimmerman, the Canadian DJ behind Deadmau5, does
should come as no surprise. He's the latest superstar in electro-house,
a dance subset built on four to the floor beats and endless blips and
bleeps. He comes to the Village after just being named the sixth best
DJ in the world in DJ Mag's influential Top 100 poll. Look out for
crazy visuals, not the least of which will be Zimmerman rocking a
deranged, cartoon-style mouse head throughout the show. Gotta think
there'll be some kids calling in sick on Wednesday.

Donald Trump's response to the Puerto Rico (and Virgin Islands) disaster would doom any other president.
